Reviewer: not so old - - June 27, 2012
Subject: fairy tale in standard form

This fairy tale follows the standard format with everything coming in threes. It also has the weakness of fairy tales and short stories -- the abrupt ending. However, it provides an entertaining read and a good lesson in kindness as all fairy tales should.

Subject: Short but Excellent

This was a nice little story, very creative for a non Grimm fairy tale. I really enjoyed it. Xenutia (sp) does a wonderful job of narration. I nice quick story to lift your spirits.
